About Miami Science Museum

The Miami Science Museum is dedicated to "inspiring people of all ages and cultures to enjoy science and technology." The museum, which first opened in 1950, welcomes more than 250,000 people each year.[3] The Miami Science Museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Prices are $14.95 for adults, $10.95 for seniors age 62 and over, $10.95 for children ages 3-12, and free for children under the age of three.[2]

The Miami Museum of Science and Planetarium is a non-profit organization dedicated to education. The facility will be moving to a new facility in Bicentennial Park due to a $35 million donation from Phillip and Patricia Frost and a $175 million bond issue. The museum will be built on a sustainable design and will feature exhibits powered by natural elements and five levels of educational activities and shows. A 3-D planetarium is planned. Until the new museum is ready, the current facility will offer activities, exhibits, children's camps and school field trip programs.[4]
